When programming my database engine, I found that 'index' did best with smaller scalars ( reason for mentioning 'database sharding' ). My times were close to the worst case ( worst case is 'not found' ). I found that with a 8-byte key, the 'index' technique I used was 4.7 times faster searching 512 byte records than searching 1,024 byte records. Naturally, 'index' searching a 5MM+ byte record is going to be real slow! My attempt was to give you another approach, not a final solution. Good Luck...Ed "Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin
